[all variants] SSD : transfering /tmp and /var/log to another HD

http://ubuntuforums.org –
Hi there,
I intend to transfer /tmp and /var/log to another hard drive.
I saw that you can mount them in memory with tmpfs but I don't want to do that (I have plenty of HD space and I love to save RAM :D )
I have 2 questions about this :
1- What space should I book ? 5GB should be more than enough right ?
2-How to set up /var/log in the second HD ?
During the installation, you just create a partition and mount it as /var/log ?
It seems obvious but this feel odd to me to create a mounting point that is not directly under / :-k
Thx for any help !

welcome to the forums!i'll just answer your questions, thinking of the most common scenario: install an operating system to your hard drive.1. depends on the size of your hard drive and the size of the windows installation. since windows tends to take hold of all space available, you have to make some space first (create unallocated hard drive space from within windows). then from the #!

I'm trying to install CentOS 7 on my laptop, but I've got a problem partitioning the hard drive. Though here's writen the there is 2.49 MB of available space and 476.94 GB of total space, when I try to create new mount points (the partiotioning scheme is set on standard partition), I have the message that there is not enough space. What should I do ?
